bump of all bumps.....
married, father, mortgage.
did my PhD eventually, graduated last year (started in 2013!)
on my second postdoc and loving it.
what a long road it has been :-)
So this is one option that's been presented to me... my boss has no funding right now and his PA suggested I come up with my own proposal and if worthy he would apply on my behalf.
does that make sense? I am completely unfamiliar with the proposal side of things.
has anyone done this for their own PhD? I'm extremely interested to hear about it
IS
Pass with Merit, although I was kind of hoping to achieve a 65% average but was just below that.
75% for my dissertation, which makes up 60% of my research project.
The other 40% is "Coursework" (supervisor's marks and presentation). I got 58% for this and am so annoyed! I did the project at work and now suspicious of one of my colleagues, although my presentation was a bit poor, so maybe that' what let me down...
/obsession
looking to the future... do you think with Merit and 75% in dissertation I have a good chance of getting a PhD studentship?
cheers. hope I don't seem too negative, just slightly raw tbh
is this true? if so, why? would a merit and several years lab experience not be enough? thanks

easy enough. I'd be quick though, get you application in ASAP
I am doing the course one day per week over 2 years. Total fees £5.9K, bursary 5K. I am very grateful to be saving almost 11K, trust me, but I am wondering if I am in a position to secure extra funding...
my present funding is from CRUK, but I know that there are other sources supporting this particular course.
thanks in advance (up)
bump. is there anyone out there that has taken this course? I've been offered a place, with funding.
it's at imperial and I need some advice on what kind of questions he's going to ask me. thanks in advance

Hi,
Has anyone taken this course, or any of you studying it presently? It sounds really interesting, a bridge between chemistry and medicine, and I'm thinking of applying.
link below. anyone any thoughts/feedback?

thanks,
I.S.
lol, is she having a go at me or "prestigious" unis?!
;-)
I'm considering one other course which is Radiopharmaceutics, also at King's
http://www.kcl.ac.uk/gsp09/programme/443
anyone on here taken this course? thoughts?
my background is chemical sciences and intended on moving into nanotech (biomedical apps of magnetic nanoparticles in cancer research), but this course has caught my eye ;-)
apologies, it was a generic email I received from queen mary. turns out it only applies to "overseas" applicants.
just out of interest, how are people funding themselves through a masters? I hope to save between now and september, but will have to work part-time aswell. I've plenty of industrial experience so ideally could pt work in a lab. even better, a pt job in king's!!
anyone been lucky enough to do pt work in their place of study?
hi all,
I've recently been accepted for MRes at King's College London, it is not funded.
however, there is a course at Queen Mary where it is possible to get fees covered. the chances are I'll continue onto phd, so in this case is prestige so important?
